Quote "Salutations Lou
I am doing well thx for asking. Your  query can be answered simply by saying, I am as always interested in scale modeling. Like most people in the last 18 month's I have seen some large changes in my life. Priorities have been rearranged and I find myself little time for my pastimes (SMM as an example) putting an emphasis on family and health. Looking forward to the day we all can get back to having some fun.

Thank you

I do very little craft work these days, but occasionally browse the site for nostalgic reasons. Sorry I can't be more positive, but I'm sure other, younger, workers will still be interested.

"Hi Lou

We are doing fine. Trust the same for your family. Have been tied up at work so don't have much time. Am hoping to get back to the Halifax's and others in the next two or three weeks.

Thanks for checking in. - Ken"

"Hello, good to hear from you. Must admit I have not been very active my Bonnie is calling for attention and I will complete her.  I think the absence of interest from a group of like minded folks in the area takes some of the excitement and determination out of projects but I will get back to it.  Letters like yours will spur us on,  Covid has not helped either, we cancelled our trip to the coast this year and my old buddy passed on.  I am going to get off my butt and finish my projects and thank you for the kick. Be safe and keep in touch."

"Hi Lou,
I'm doing well down here in Portland.  Not much activity in the solid model construction hobby but still building other things.  I was saddened to here of the passing of Barry.  I always admired his work.  I hope things are going well for you."

Hello Lou:

I'm fine and pretty work-bound these days. As far as being part of the email list for Solid Model Memories, please remove me.  I've taken a new direction since 2012.
I hope all is well with you. sir.

Regards,
